"Formulation done here,” read a sign over a store. Within ;at a littlo stubby man, with small gray eyes, full red beard and an unctuous, flabby face. Scattered around him ou the bench on which he sat and about, the floor were pieces of silk, satin and serge, bundles of borse-hair and pack ages of half open cotton. The little man wai busily stitching a blue satin quilted art iciest hat looked like a cushion of a baby carriage. “Yes lam wliat thetailors term a form ulator,” he replied to a questioning visitor, in a thin, squeaky voice. ‘The word is indicative of my trade or rather profession. My occupation is truly the latter, inasmuch as it is an art, the art of improving, embel lishing or modifying the masculine fir ore, as the case demands. Padding) Y'es, some might term it that. Didn’t you know that men pod, eh' Why, bless your soul, they have been doing it since the days of Joseph.” The speaker separuted a thread with a finger-nail close to the garment. Then lie held the pad toward the light, scrutinizing it critically, seized his tape line and began measuring the garment, referring constant ly to a small piece ol paper with the meas urements on it. “The man I cull patron is a creature of dissatisfaction. Nothing about his own personality or make-up contents him. He is essentially a being of observation. If he lias a friend who is short and fat, while be himself is tell and thin, he forms the idea that he, too, would like to la: stumpy and adipose. A Jailor can do littlo for him, but we-can. Liberal but discriminating pad ding will make him corpulent, ami if his make-up is expertly perfected it will give him the appearance of being considerably shorter tluiii when in his normal state. His friends will remark how well lie is looking, ask how he has grown so fleshy, and the artful deceiver will launch into such a dis sertation of gastronomy that the horso-hair appliances in his artificial chest will shrivel up into a double bowknot with surprise. “These forms are not limit,ud entirely to the trunk of the subject. The calves, hips and knees all come in for its benefit. You know that the knee of a man’s trousers in loss than a month after they are made be come “baggy.” This necessitates any amount of running to the tailor’s and hav ing the garment pressed, if the wearer de sires to lie well dressed. Although constant bonding of tbe knee is in part t lie cause of the eyesore to men, the construction of the member is the principal reason of such a state of things. Now, look here,” and tho little man st etched one of his fat legs straight out before him. “Feel my knee: you see the kneecap sits like a hillock over the points. Below it the limb swerves in. Now, how are you going to make u trouser log sit siuoottily here without catch ing) Can’t say) Thou I’ll tell you: use forms below and above the cap, und the trousers will lit like a glove and won’t bag. “You see the form beiug stitched to the lining of the garment makes it stiff and prevents the cloth straining. You may have noticed that the cloth never stretches at th- knee cap, but above and below it. A little dressing about, the too large calf and a little doctoring at this member itself is a valuable aid to the lit of the leg ease ment. “ ‘Fats’ are made of a variety of mater ials and worn in a variety of ways. Chest and spinal articles are made like sleeveless jackets of one continuous piece of material. There is a hole for the head and the gar ment is slipped on by extending Iho arms upward und perpendicularly and lotting the article full on. Over the muscles of the chest the garment is padded to any ex tent desired. Tho small of the liaea is also touched up as necesdty dictates. The hi sly of the article is of silk or chamois. Tho chest pads in cold weather are always worn next to the skin. By this arrange ment the effect is natural and consistent, and it is almost impossible, even by feel ing, to discover t,lio arl ith ialtty of the pad dor’s figure. Why, there is no limit to our possibilities, A good many of our business men wear padded undergarments, not par ticularly for the effect, but because the clothing fits more comfortably. THE O -iDEST MAN ON EARTH. A Negro Resident of Santa Rosa, Mexi co, in His 135th Year A correspondent at Laredo, Tox., writes as follows to the Ht. Louis (itobe Demo crat: James James, u negro and citizen of the United Slates, who resides at Santa Rosa, Mexico, is probably the oldest man on earth. Ho was born near Dorchester, S. C., in 1752, and while an infant was removed to Medway River Ga., in the same year that Benjamin Franklin brought down electric ity from the thunder clouds. In 17(12 there wasquite an immigration into South Carolina, and his master, James James, from whom ho takes his name, moved near Charleston, S. C., in company with a num ber of his neigobors. On June 4, 1778, when 24 years of age, a large British fleet, under Sir Peter Parker, ar rived off Charleston. The citizens had erec ted a palmetto wood fort on Sullivan's Is land, with twenty-six guns, manned by 500 troops, under Col. Moultrie, and on June 28, the British made an attack by land nud water, and were compelled to withdiitw after a 10-hours’ conflict. It was during this tight that, Sergeant .Jasper dis tinguished himself by replacing the flog, which had been shot away upon the bastion on anew staff. Jim's master, Janies James, manned one of lier guns in this tight, and the subject of this sketch and four other slaves were employed around the fort ns general laborers. Jim followed his master t hrough out the war, and was with Gen. Moultrie at Port Royal, S. C., Feb. 15, 1770, when Moultrie defeated the combined British forces of Prevest, and Campbell. His mas ter was surrendered bv Gen. Lincoln at Charleston, S. C., on Feh. 12, 1780, to the British forces, and that ended Jim’s mili tary career. Ite remembers of the rejoicing in 1702 t hroughout the countrjl in consequence of Washington’s election to the Presidency, hethen lieing 40 yearn of age. In Hint year Ins first master died, aged about GO years. Jim then became the property of "Marse Henry” (Henry Janies), owning large es tales and about thir y slaves, near Charles ton. On account of having raised "Marse Henry” Jim was a special favorite witli his master and was allowed todoashecho.se. Ills second master, Henry,died in 1815, about 55 years of age, and Jiin, then 03 year- of age, became tile projierty of James James, Henry’s second son. In ISiili tho railroad from Charleston to Hamburg was comple ted, thou the longed railroad in the world, mid Jim, with Ins master, took a trip over the road, ami was show n special favors on account of his age, then 81, James James was 10 years of age at his father’s deal,h, ami whan lie became of age inherited large (‘stales, slaves, etc., among whom were “old Uncle Jim” ami his faintly. James Janies lived in Smith Carolina until 1852, when he moved to Texas with his slaves, James de sired that Ins slaves should t.e freest his death, and in 1858 moved into Mexico so that they could la* fr**e liefore his death, James returned to the United Stales, anil died in Texas, and in 1805 after there were no longer slaves in the l nitod States, 1 nclo Jim’s children aud grand children returned to the Units'll Stales. Five years ago, at the age of 120, Jim could do light, chores, but subsisted mostly by contributions from the citizens, but tor the past two years, not being able to walk, he remains for the most part in his little jaenl, his wants being supplied by his generous neighbors. The rheumatism in Ids legs prevents him from walking, hut yet be baa sufficient strength in his arms to drag himself a short distance—fifty yards or more. A Connecticut man threw a lot of mud into a neighbor s well, and the neighbor sought for and got a warrant charging him with "common corruption.” The case didn't hold, however. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1888 WOM KN’S WA RON THE CUP SOCIAL PURITY ALSO CONSIDERED IN THE CONVENTION.

From the Pittgburg Pts/tatrh. A well known Pittsburg dontist has late ly received a patent upon an electrical np filiation tlini has certainly sol vis 1 one of tin* many difficulties attending tho proper handling of the human teeth. Heretofore a whole gold tooth lies been iinide by the old-fashioned swedgiug process, at once clumsy and hardly effective. The gold cones are technically called galvatio-plnstic t'Hith crowns, and tho process of making them is very simple. A soft metallic model of the tooth is made, this being done per fectly by first taking an impression of the tooth. Tho metallic model is then placed in u dynamo-electric bath, anil a deposit of mm* gold is thus formed all over the medal. When this gold has attained a suitab n thickness the soft metal is easily incite 1 out without injuring the cono, leaving a per fect, smooth gold tooth crown. This pro oess is far easier than the oid way, and has received marked attention from the scien tific dental organs of the East. ON BAIL AND CROSSTIHS. Local and General Gossip to Railway Circles. The Central railroad ran tliroe excursion trains to Andersonvilie on Wednesday, one from Macon and two from Americus. Over 3,000 colored excursionists were on the trains.

Tho tickets will be good to return on all regular trains for three days. This excursion will be announced itt all the African Baptist churches of Geor gia on Sunday next, and thousands of col ored excursionists will bo attracted to the city. The office of Major Belknap, General Manager of the Central railroad, has I .eon besieged by construction men this week, examining the specifications and profiles of the proposed Buena Vista and Columbus extension which is to be let June 20, and some of tho contractors after looking at the specifications have left for Columbus to go over tho line to lx.tt.tr enable them to bid more intelligently on the work. An excursion of the order of Railway Conductors of Georgia will begiven on June 12 over the Central road from Atlanta and intermediate points to Tyoee lelu.id, and at Jasper festival rates. The Central has also determined, so General Passenger Agent Charlton informed a Morning Nkws re porter yesterday, to run .Sunday excursion trains from Millen to Tybee Island during the season.
